The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

"I……"

Just as Su Yunxi was about to speak, the man buried his head in the crook of her neck and rubbed against her, looking at her with a fawning expression.

"Xi'er, I'm sorry, I didn't know you would be so badly injured, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have left you."

Su Yunxi's heart softened, and her initial anger gradually disappeared.

"You finally decided to come back! I was so worried about you."

She muttered.

Yang Xian immediately looked up, a hint of joy appearing on his previously worried face.

"If it weren't for that person, we wouldn't be living like this. I believe we'll be free soon!"

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yang Ling was completely bewildered by the secret letter in his hand. He really didn't understand what his elder brother, the Crown Prince, was up to!

They actually wrote him a letter, asking him to return and ascend the throne!

You have to understand that his cheap father is still the Emperor Liang. Now the Crown Prince has taken some kind of wrong medicine and wants him to go back and ascend the throne right now. Isn't that just ridiculous?

"Yang Shan, do you really think your Ninth Brother is out of his mind?"

Yang Ling sneered and threw the secret letter in her hand into the brazier next to her.

"An Yu, how are the preparations for the military parade going?"

Today is also an important day. His military industrial strength has now reached a very powerful level, not to mention firearms and artillery.

Now, thanks to the research of the scholars under their command, they have successfully manufactured an internal combustion engine.

what does this mean?

If internal combustion engines are widely adopted, it won't be long before they can build trains.

Once the train is built, it will be a huge boost for him.

Yang Ling is no longer satisfied with the current situation; he is preparing to expand westward!

Although his military strength is now powerful enough to overwhelm Daliang, expanding westward is not so easy.

After all, the area to the west was deserted, and if a large-scale troop transport was desired, a railway would have to be built.

Now that I've been transported to this world, I have to start all over again.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared."

An Yu walked in upon hearing the sound, a smug smile on her face.

"Your Highness, shouldn't we prepare to set off?"

Yang Ling pondered for a moment.

He originally intended to take a tour of the border regions and, incidentally, intimidate the surrounding countries. After all, his army was now fully formed, and it was time to flex its muscles and deter other nations.

Otherwise, if any unexpected events occur, it might not be so easy to resolve them.

Yang Ling pondered for a moment. What he needed most right now was time. If he could have a year, that would be enough for him.

"Yang Shan, since you're so eager to force me back to ascend the throne, I can't refuse!"

……

Just as Yang Ling began his preparations, a turbulent situation was also brewing in the capital of Liang.

Inside a magnificent hall in the capital of Liang, Yang Shan sat on the dragon throne, his face grim.

"You bunch of useless trash, it's been so long, and you still don't have a single solution?"

"Your Highness, this matter is of great importance and cannot be decided lightly by us."

One of the ministers lowered his head, his voice tinged with helplessness.

"Hmph, do you have any ideas now? If you can't come up with a solution, I, the Crown Prince, will do it myself. I don't believe that I, a dignified Crown Prince, would really hand over the throne to him!"

The ministers below exchanged glances and then fell silent.

The Ninth Prince Yang Ling is no longer someone they can control. He now possesses the most advanced technology in the country, and their methods are simply no match for him.

"Your Highness, now that the Ninth Prince has firearms, it's impossible for us to deal with him!"

A minister stepped forward, his face also filled with helplessness.

Yang Shan's face turned even uglier upon hearing this.

"Are we just going to stand here helplessly? I absolutely cannot allow it. If he really ascends the throne, what status will I, the crown prince, have left?"

The reason Yang Shan dared to oppose Yang Ling was because he still had one last chance; he believed he could get rid of Yang Ling.

But now, Yang Ling is no longer the same Yang Ling he used to be. He has mastered the most cutting-edge technology, and they have no chance at all, which makes him very unwilling.

"I won't give up like this!"

Yang Shan let out a low growl, his face contorted with rage.

Just then, a guard rushed in, his face showing some excitement.

"Your Highness, the Ninth Prince has begun his journey. He is heading to the Western Frontier this time, so we still have a chance."

Yang Shan's eyes lit up, and a ferocious look appeared on his face. As long as Yang Ling left the capital, he could make his move.

"Yang Ling, so what if you possess the most advanced technology? I, the Crown Prince, will never relinquish the throne to you!"

……

On the other side, Yang Ling was completely unaware that his elder brother, the Crown Prince, had already harbored murderous intent towards him. They had already set off.

"Your Highness, on our journey to the Western Frontier, we will likely pass through the border cities of Tianluo Kingdom, where we may encounter some trouble!"

"It's alright. Let Su Wen and the others go there when the time comes. If anyone dares to block us, they deserve to die."

Yang Ling sneered.

They were on their way to the border town, and anyone who dared to block their path would be courting death.

"Lord Su, His Highness the Ninth Prince said that you should go directly to Tianluo Kingdom!"

An Yu said something to Su Wen, her face showing a hint of indifference.

Su Wen nodded. Although he had known for a long time that this trip to the Western Frontier would not be so simple, he did not expect it to be like this. If Tianluo Kingdom knew that they came from Daliang Kingdom, he could easily imagine what would happen.

But what does it matter? As long as they can complete the mission, they would not back down even if it meant fighting Tianluo Kingdom to the death.

……

After traveling for two or three days, Yang Ling finally arrived in Western Xinjiang.

"Your Highness, the border of Tianluo Kingdom is just ahead. We must be very careful. It is said that Tianluo Kingdom and Nanzhao Kingdom are currently at war. If we go there now, we may be caught in the crossfire."

Yang Ling nodded, his face solemn: "Well, you all rest here for now. I will personally go to see the King of Tianluo Kingdom later, and hope that he can give me an explanation."

A cold glint flashed in Yang Ling's eyes. This time, he wouldn't let the people of Tianluo Kingdom off so easily.

Su Wen and An Yu nodded and immediately went down to make preparations. This time they were taking a hundred soldiers with them, and their task was to ensure Yang Ling's safety.
